The first appearance of Eddie on the show was in "[[Barrel, Barrel... Who's Got the Barrel]]". In this episode, [[Bluster Kong]] steals the [[Crystal Coconut]] in an attempt to impress [[Candy Kong]] and promptly loses it in a barrel which is shipped to [[Funky's Flights]]. Funky takes the barrel on board his plane and ends up losing it in the [[Gorilla Glacier|White Mountains]], where it is found by Eddie. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] come looking for the coconut and discover Eddie bashing it with his club; they then trade him a matchstick for it and leave.

Rool]]. In the end, the Kongs eventually reclaim the coconut. Eddie shows up at Cranky's cabin and causes a ruckus. | The first appearance of Eddie on the show was in "[[Barrel, Barrel...
